After making breakfast at home this morning, I headed out to Bellevue Downtown Park to get some fresh air and start the day with a little exercise. The weather was crisp but pleasant, perfect for a walk. I ended up doing four full laps around the park — about two miles in total — which has become a nice routine for clearing my head before work.

 

During my walk, I spotted something amusing: a frog statue holding binoculars. I’ve passed by the area many times, but this little frog caught my attention today. There was something cute and quirky about it, almost as if it was watching over the park and observing all the morning walkers.

 

After finishing my laps, I drove to Panera Bread because Tuesday means Bagel Tuesday — their special deal. As usual, I picked up a dozen assorted bagels to bring to the office. It’s a small weekly tradition, but everyone appreciates it, and it adds a nice touch to the start of the workday.

 

We’re now just one more day away from the Thanksgiving weekend. The office feels a little lighter as people start preparing for the holiday, and I can already sense the long weekend atmosphere approaching. It will be a nice break for everyone.
